I did, but used wood simply because I had the scraps lying around to do the
job (even one of the "U" clamps holding the braces to the rack itself is
hand made from scrap). And having done so, I found the wood very easy to
work with using self tapping screws, and it's plenty strong for my uses,
Have you considered aluminum or steel angle in place of the wood, now that
you know what works?

Thanks. I am very pleased not only with the real world capacity, but also
with the bikes stability (minus bags hanging from the bar), and the quick
on and off solution.

Very impressive Patrick, both the load caring capacity and the quick on/off
of the rack. Simple and effective, can't ask more. Thanks for the update.
